This spot came on in 2013; I had been badgering the local media to try to get the El Paso Model Train Club some local exposure. Finally, they sent out a camera guy on an hour's notice, and I grabbed anyone I could find, including my teenage daughter and pal to set up some trains at the club. I was rather hoping for a surge of community interest, but alas, this was not to be. Not one new person turned up at the club after this aired. Overall lesson is that we will not be able to sustain the club physical plant by dues, there needs to be a corporate sponsor, which I have had a little success with doing, to finance the larger needs (such as a good roof, etc). Being a Tyco guy, naturally my thoughts turn to the major force that swept our beloved hobby: https://youtu.be/BSK6iGImK8s
